What a Doctor Related.

To reporter OF the Kalamazoo,
Mich, Telegraph. Dr.. FRANCHISE, the
well known veterinary surgeon, said !:
In the spring of 1883, while handling
some carbolic acid which / was about
to use for some purpose in the prac-
tice of my profession, accidentally
spilled some of it on my left leg be-
tween the ankle and the knee. Well,
sin, | didn't think Of its being any very
severe injury at the time, though it
made quite a painful wound; but |
had a terrible time with that leg. On
the place where it was burned with
the acid there came running sore
which never left me for three years,
and which might have been there yet
if hadn't used S. S. S. It dischar-
ged serum-likc matter and was very
painful at Zines. 1t was great in
convenience to me in my business, for
man to be successful veterinary sur
geon must he both. active and muscu-
lar. Well, it was quecr, but | could
not find anything that would cure that
sore. / submitted to the treatment of
a number of physicians in turn, and
tried various remedies, both standard
and empirical, in which | had consid-
cradle confidence. But got NJ bet
ter. After suffering great pain and
pecuniary loss for three years, I con-
cluded to try it myself. l tell you /
was rather discouraged, but last spring
l began taking S. S. S., and felt bet
ter right off. After using six bottles,
averaging a bottle every seven or
eight days, l was cured up. That leg
was all right, and it has never both
cred me bit since. l am kind Of
mashed on that medicine, but | have
good reasons to be. / can't say too
much for 1t, and almost believe it
would cure anything. | have heard
a great deal of what it has done, but
you see this instance of which have
told you was a cure Of which / had
personal and positive knowledge.

In discussion before the Nine
teenth Century Club, in New York, a
few evenings since, DR.. William Ham
mond, speaking on "Brain Forcing in
the Education of Children" said that
a little girl was brouglit to him with
St. Vitus' dance. Iu her school sat-
chel were books on English grammar,
arithmetic, geography, history, prima-
ry astronomy, temperance, physiology
and hygiene whatever that may mean,
he ejacu!ated), French grammar,
French reader, and book on science.
He found that the child had six and a
half hours to study nine subjects; it
was using its brain capital faster than
Its receipts it had intellectual bank
ruptcy staring it in the face. If a
child should not look at book until
it was ten years old it would read bet
ter at II than child who had stud
led its letters when it was three years
old. cit would be much better if a
child studied two or three subjects in
stead of Twelve; grammar should he
banished until the senior year of a
university course; no child ever
learned good English from grammar.
Grammar is the most ingenious device
ever known for driving poor little
brains into premature decrepitnde.-
The only reason why it does not do
more harm is because nine-tenths of
the people don't know anything about
it,"

Mn. Calhoun, from near Babb's
bridge, in this parish, was in Alexan-
dria the other day, and when APP
preached aud asked his opinion re-
garding the building of our compress,
readily answered that it was Just the
thing onr town needed. He also as
serted that the largest portion of the
pinewoods trade, lately taken from us,
conld be regained by the buildin, of
the compress, as the money thus saved
10y the owners eff cotton in bringing it
here, would be a figure, and was worth
a great deal indeed. Mr.. Calhoun is
representative man in his section, is
in business at present, and knows what
he is talking about. This is only the
beginning you see; other localities
throughout this and adjoining parish
es will come back to trade with Alex
andria, if the compress is built. Let
our people keep moving-we've seen
our darkest days and the bright future
is almost in sight. After our compress
is built, we then can talk Of erecting
a cotton seed oil mill, as the two go
we'll together. Keep a stiff upper lip,
Alexandrians. Yon have the boss

make it grow in the next few years,
why, it's nobody's fault but your own.

THE next Congress and the next, and
then its successor, viii in all probability
indorse and proiecute the great enterorise
of national defenses, dividing appropria-
lions between coasts and ironclads. We
deem this wise and patriotic policy
The question Of economy is secondary
consideration, if any such question is In
volved at all. The government is rich in
ready money and in resources. 1t will
cause no embarrassment to make liberal
use Of the surplus. Moreover, it is never
wasteful to provide necessary safeguards,
nor is any expenditure extrayagant that
the vindication of American rights and of
national honor requires. Above all other
duties rises the duty of self-protection.
This is one of the things with reference to
which the proud American Republic has
long been palpably of its base.-[Cincin-

NEBRASKA PROHIBITION.

LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 19.-The Pro-
hibitioD State Convention ass embed
in this city this forenoon for few
days session. II. w. Hardy, Of this
city, was selected as permanent Chair
man. Four hundred and seventy-six
delegates were entitled to seats in the
convention. Three hundred and
eighty-one of these are present.
The report Of the Treasurer of the
State Central Committee showed the
financial condition of the Prohibition
party in this State to be as follows

$136,255, leaving a balance due the
Treasurer of $7,377. One hundred
and seventeen pledges were unre-
deemed, amounting to S185. The re-
ports of progress in the party from
representatives of the various counties
showed but little additional strength
over that reported in the same con-
vention year ago. The convention
adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow.

YOUTHFUL TRAIN WRECKERS'

Ell PAso, rex, Aug. 19.-For some
days past PERSISTENT attempts have
been made to throw the Texas &
Pacific passenger train of the track a
few miles west of San Elizaro, not far
from El Paso. DISTINCTIONS consist
ing of ties, large rocks and other
things were found on the track, and
had to be removed daily.
Monday evening Police officer Dowd
United States Marshal Van Bipcr and
Supt. Robert Lyle went to the scene
of the outrage, and secreted them
selves near the track for the purpose
of watching for The miccreants, in
which they were eminently successful
They caught three Mexican boys in
the act of pilling heavy stones on the
track at a place where there is a
15-foot embankment. They obstruct-
ed various other places, covering a
distance of almost half a mile. The
three then paused for moment in
consultation, and at this juncture the
officers burst from their hiding-place.
The three boys instantly ran but were
chased down in few moments and
captured. They proved to be Mexi-
can boys, the oldest under 16. Their
ponies were staked out short dis
tance away. They were badly scared,
and at first attempted to deny their
guilt, but afterwards confessed and in
sisted that it was their first offense.
The boys proved to be from Socorro,
where they had been employed herd
ing sheep. They refused to say what
their intentions were in wrecklng the
train, but the surrounding circum-
stances made it only too plain that it
was plunder. They are all under
sized and puny, but have the true
desperate swing. After the curious
trio were secured the officers turned
their attention to removing the OBJ
structions, which occupied several
hours the train being tagged at about
dusk. An engine was sent after the
party, and the boys were locked up in
Jail at this place.

MAN WITH HYDRAPHOBIA.

LITTLE Rock, Aug. 19.-Near this
city, Wednesday, Milton Cox, we'll
known farmer became unconscious
and apparently rabid, acting like a
man bit by hydrophabic dog. He
jumped, snarlcd, and bit at everyone
in reach, finally biting both his wife
and mother in their efforts to over
power and control him. The assault
on his aged mother is likely to result
in her death. The unfortunate man
was finally overpowered and placed
in the State asylum for insane.

THE INTEREST IN THE RE-
UNION UNABATED.
San Antonio Selected as Place
of Next Meeting.
MAJsuT. Il. TEAL ELECTED
PRESIDENT.
Attendance This Morning Larg-
est of Any Day Yet.

Early this morning the crowd began
to gather at the Fair Grounds for the
last day Of the Ex-Confederate Re-
union. 1t seemed that the street
cars were fuller than formerly, the
Texas and Pacific coaches
were also crowded, and it appeared
from the streets crowded condition
that everything with wheels in the
city and for twenty miles around was
brought into requisition to transport
people from city and country to the
reunion.
The early morning hours were
consumed in general informing
ling, meeting old friends and ex-
comrads, and forming new acquain-
tances. At 10 o'clock the State AS
sociation was called together on the
music stand, to select the place for
the next annual meeting and election
of officers. After the meeting was
called to order the city of San Anto-
nio, the burg of war fame and immen-
sity of anti majority, was put in nomi-
nation and seconded by Maj. Teal of
that city and others. Capt. Walter
Maddox put Fort Worth in nomi-
nation also. But it appear
ing to the Fort Worth man that San
Antonio had tho go on him, he with
drew the Fort, as friend suggested
till "next time" The association met
in 1885 at Fort Worth, and there is
general desire to go about over the
state, so San Antonio was selected by
acclamation.
Next in order was the election of
president for tho ensuing year. Maj.
T. II. Teal, of San Antonio, was put
in nomination by Gen. Cabell, and
elected by loud and enthusiastic ac.
clamation. Being called upon he re-
sponded in a short speech
full of sentiment and appre-
citation for the compliment of
his election. He said he would rather
be president of this association than
brigadier general that here he would
command not only privates and ofii-
GERS, but the brigadiers too, and
even the Ex-Federals. (Laughter)
He had been a soldier four years and
four months, and there sat his first
general-(pointing to Gen. Henry e.
McCullough.) Again he returned
thanks to the association for the
double honor conferred upon San
Antonio, assuring them that
next year San Antonio would
meet them halfway. Maj. Teal was 63
years old yesterday.
Col. Dave Williams moved that the
time of next meeting be three days
beginning with first Wednesday in
August next. Carried.
Gen. Mccullough was called, but
time was called and il was announced
the General would be heard
at the grand stand, to which place
they all repaired.
After music by the band, Rev. DIR.
Hayden offered an appropriate prayer
and Gen. Mccullough was introduc-
ed. The General is the representative
of the ex-Confederate Home at Aus
tin, and he made a good talk in be-
half of that laudable institution.
Next. DIR. A. G.. Clopton, of Jefler-
son, orator of the morning, began his
address, and is now speaking.

Bhr. Hunter, the chairman of the meet
$ig, stated that the delegates to the last
'State convention had been required to
pay some hall rent, and thought the
club should reimburse them. Mr.. J. Il.
Duncan said that he would take the re-
sponstbility to speak for the delegates,
ana that they did not expect the club to
refund the money. Mr.. j. II. Duncan
desired to call the attention Of tho club
to the fact that the Legislature had
passed an act providing for the estab-
lishment OF two experimental stations,
much to his disappointmcnt, rs he only
wanted one, and that to be nucleus
upon which to build an agricultural col
lege, but that the bill provided for two,
and that he thought that Newberry
should take some steps to get one Of
these stations, with the hope 0f securing
the college here. Mr.. Il. J.. Hunter
moved that each club be required to pay
htty cents each to pay the current eX-
penses. 1t was moved that we adjourn
to meet on Saturday the 2Gth inst, for
the purpose Of deciding the question as
to whether Newberry will apply for one
OF the experimental stations, and that
each club discuss the matter and elect
delegates to carry out their wishes.
